My RV is a class b motor home. It has a 400 watt inverter, my fridge is rated at 135 watts. I have not purchased the crockpot yet. Thought it best to ask the question before purchasing a small coackpot that we do not need at home. Needs to be small to fit in my sink.
The math 400 - 10% = 360 - 135 watts for the fridge = 225 watt for crockpot.
Does this math sound right.
is this a "120v compressor fridge" or this a propane fridge
IF 'compressor' have you ever run the fridge on inverter only
normally compressor start up can be 5 times or MORE than the run power
in which case, the fridge could tipped the overload on the inverter, with the crock pot plugged in, you will arrive with out hot food and with the fridge shut down
if this is an LP fridge, i have never seen one with that small a heating element
if it is LP, yes you can safely run it on LP while driving
